Britney Spears' mental health has been questioned by an Iranian government spokesperson following her support for women's rights protests in Iran. Essentially, her conservatorship past is being used against her, effectively saying she should not be giving her two cents on certain issues. She only did what Meghan Markle did though, but the backlash seems quite more severe.
Of course, it remains to be seen if her fans will be swayed by this diss against her.
The Islamic Republic News Agency wrote on its official Twitter account that the American star Britney Spears was placed under her father's conservatorship in 2008 owing to her mental health issues, indirectly indicating that she should not be so outspoken about their country's regulations with women's rights.
The tweet ended with more personal attacks, detailing how the conservatorship gave Britney's father power over her income and even her personal life, including her pregnancy, remarriage, and visits with her teenage sons.
In addition, they included an image of a separate response to Spears' tweet from a different person who replied "Nice talk. Can you now handle your own finances?"
All these scathing posts in a response to a tweet by Spears, 40, who is married to her Iranian-American husband, Sam Asghari, 28.
The star's tweet reveals that she and her husband support the Iranian women in their quest for freedom.

Iran's government looked to be attempting to determine whether Spears was in a suitable state to comment on the unrest rocking the country, which is governed by a cabal of radical Islamic clerics.
In September, Asghari published a video on Instagram explaining why he backed the Iranian protesters.
Following the death of Mahsa Amini, women around Iran have protested gendered inequality. The 22-year-old woman died in police custody after being arrested for allegedly breaching the severe morals regulations of the Muslim nation, which require women to cover their hair.
The IRNA has repeatedly attempted to shift blame away from the police by claiming Amini died of a heart attack, although Amini's family claims she was murdered.
Earlier on, Meghan Markle and other celebrities have lent their support to the Iranian women demonstrating. Markle made a surprise appearance at Spotify's offices on Tuesday, when she spoke in favor of the Iranian demonstrations while wearing a blouse with a Farsi slogan. The Duchess of Sussex donned a shirt with the words "Women, Life, Freedom" inscribed on the front in Farsi.
Markle brought along two Iranian female executives from her company Archewell: executive vice president of global communications Ashley Hansen and president Mandana Dayani.
